Yes, through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a cellular membrane. Water flows from high concentrations to low concentrations. The mass of the potato will change based on the molarity of the solution it is placed in. CHEMISTRY REFRESHER: molarity is the amount of moles of a substance per liter(of water). If the potato is placed in a solution with a lesser molarity than itself(the solution has less glucose than the potato) then we would expect for the potato to gain water. This is because there is a greater concentration of water outside of the cell wall, so water enters the cell in order to obtain equilibrium. Using the same reasoning we would expect for the potato to lose water if it is placed in a solution of higher molarity
Evaporation is the process in the water cycle that is caused by an increase in temperature. When water temperatures rise, water molecules gain energy and turn into water vapor, which then rises into the atmosphere forming clouds.
Infrared radiation is absorbed by water molecules, which causes them to vibrate and gain energy. This increase in energy leads to an increase in the temperature of the water, accelerating the evaporation process.
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere.The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
The cells of the apple pieces will lose water through osmosis due to the higher concentration of salt in the water compared to the inside of the cells. This will cause the cells to shrink and become dehydrated, potentially leading to wilting and a change in texture.
depends on the salt content of the potato and how concentrated the salt is. the more salt there is in the water than the potato- the more water will exit the potato which then loses mass.
yes
Distilled waters pH is not perfectly stable because it still contains ions in it. Distilled water reacts with air and will gain a pH. The CO2 in air dissolves in water, freeing ions and lowering the pH to around 5. Boiling the water can be used to remove the carbon dioxide to restore the pH to 7.
The potato strips changed length during osmosis because water molecules moved across the semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. This caused the cells in the potato strips to either gain or lose water, leading to changes in their size and length.
More water molecules gain energy and can escape from the liquid.

When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; but a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase.
In osmosis, water moves from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane like the cell wall of a potato. If the external solution has a higher solute concentration than the potato cells, water will move out of the cells, causing them to lose mass. If the external solution has a lower solute concentration, water will move into the cells, causing them to gain mass.
